PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) As if the TPC Sawgrass didn’t have enough water at The Players Championship.
The biggest change to the Players Stadium Course for this year was the par-4 12th hole, which used to have trees on the right, huge mounds on the left and a flip wedge into a small green surrounded with bunkers.
For 35 years, it played at 358 yards and was the easiest par 4 on the course.
Now it’s even shorter at 302 yards, making it easily reachable for most players in the field. Like most drivable par 4s, it comes with a severe risk.
